ILIAD NOUN

ild.05 Mount my Chariot, and note how cleverly the Horses of Tros can speed hither and thither over the plain in pursuit or flight.
ild.05 They are of the stock that great Jove gave to Tros in payment for his son Ganymede, and are the finest that live and move under the sun.
ild.08 Mount my Chariot and see what the Horses of Tros can do how cleverly they can scud hither and thither over the plain either in flight or in pursuit.
ild.20 Erichthonius begat Tros, king of the Trojans, and Tros had three noble sons, Ilus, Assaracus, and Ganymede who was comeliest of mortal men; wherefore the Gods carried him off to be Jove s cupbearer, for his beauty s sake, that he might dwell among the immortals.
ild.20 There was also Tros the son of Alastor he came up to Achilles and clasped his knees in the hope that he would spare him and not kill him but let him go, because they were both of the same age.
ild.20 Therefore when Tros laid hold of his knees and sought a hearing for his prayers, Achilles drove his sword into his liver, and the liver came rolling out, while his bosom was all covered with the black blood that welled from the wound.

Arise Greece! from thy silent sleep, 2000 years long it is! Forget not, thy ancient culture, beautiful and marvelous it is!
